Pro-Ject Audio Systems, a leader in high-fidelity audio, has unveiled the Uni Box S3, a compact integrated streaming amplifier that seamlessly blends analog purity with cutting-edge streaming technology. Powered by the industry-leading WiiM OS, this all-in-one solution redefines modern hi-fi, offering audiophiles a versatile, high-performance hub for analog and digital sources. Now available through authorized dealers, the Uni Box S3 is set to captivate music enthusiasts worldwide.
Preserving Analog, Embracing Digital
Drawing on Pro-Ject’s decades of expertise in analog design, the Uni Box S3 takes a unique approach to streaming amplifiers. Unlike many competitors that digitize all inputs, the Uni Box S3 keeps analog sources—such as turntables, CD players, or other line-level devices—fully analog, preserving their rich, lifelike sonic character. Its fully analog pre- and power-stage design delivers every musical nuance with dynamic precision and power, ensuring an authentic listening experience.
The Uni Box S3 features a Cirrus Logic CS4344 DAC, supporting high-resolution audio up to 24-bit/192kHz, for pristine digital playback. With 50 watts per channel into 8 ohms, this compact amplifier drives a wide range of speakers with authority, making it ideal for both intimate and expansive listening spaces.
Seamless Streaming and Multiroom Capabilities
The Uni Box S3 integrates WiiM OS, a robust streaming platform that supports leading services like Tidal Connect, Spotify Connect, Qobuz, AirPlay 2, DLNA, and Internet Radio. Controlled via the intuitive Pro-Ject Home App, users can effortlessly stream music from smartphones, NAS drives, or online platforms to the Uni Box S3, which acts as a universal hub for Pro-Ject devices. The app simplifies setup, with automatic detection and guided Wi-Fi configuration for a hassle-free experience.
Multiroom functionality allows the Uni Box S3 to wirelessly send audio from connected sources, such as a turntable in the living room, to speakers in other rooms, creating a seamless whole-home audio experience. This modular streaming architecture, provided by WiiM, ensures future-proofing, as the streaming module can evolve independently of the analog amplifier.
Versatile Connectivity
The Uni Box S3 offers a comprehensive array of inputs, including:
-
Analog Inputs: Phono MM for turntables, RCA line-level for CD players or other devices.
-
Digital Inputs: Optical, coaxial, and USB for high-resolution digital sources.

Crafted with sustainability in mind, the Uni Box S3 features a compact aluminum chassis that uses significantly less material than traditional amplifiers, reducing environmental impact while maintaining durability.
